This superb deer-resistant form of our native Iris cristata was discovered by Samuel Norris (who created the first xpardancandas) of Owensboro, Kentucky, some 37 years ago in a 200-yard long bank of Iris cristata in Litchfield, Kentucky. It was registered and named by Joe Pye Weed Gardens, Massachusetts, in 1998. The light blue flowers, to 3" wide, are gigantic for this species...a hummingbird delight. This vigorously spreading form to 1' tall is a superb choice for a dry location in the woodland garden.
